A distinctive modern version of an ancient TUE Indian epic and one of the world's most popular love TUE stories. Sita has been abducted by a ruthless warlord. Rama TUE enlists the help of an army of monkeys to get her back but TUE has she betrayed him with the evil ruler of Lanka? TUE Sita...Manjinder Virk TUE Rama...Lloyd Thomas TUE Lakshman...Adeel Aktar TUE Ravan...Paul Bhattacharjee TUE Surparnaka...Sasha Behar TUE Hanuman...Kulvinder Ghir TUE Sugreeva...Jude Akuwudike TUE Mandodari...Deeivya Meir TUE Kush...Omar Kent TUE Lava...Neil Reynolds TUE Music composed by Niraj Chag TUE Directed by Claire Grove TUE The ancient Indian epic The Ramayana is one of the most TUE popular love stories in the world. The separation and TUE reunion of two lovers gives it perennial appeal but Rama's TUE growing jealousy and Sita 's metamorphosis into a strong TUE independent woman gives the story a contemporary feel. "Be TUE as Rama," young Indians have been taught for 2,000 years, TUE "be as Sita." but Rama is an interestingly flawed character, TUE driven by powerful emotions in a world where monkeys can be TUE gods, and gods can be as fallible as humans. Amber Lone's TUE modern version of this Indian epic is scheduled to coincide TUE with Divali, the festival of Lights, which celebrates Rama TUE and Sita's return to their kingdom. Outstanding composer TUE Niraj Chag creates original music. TUE Amber Lone (dramatist) is a bold new British Asian voice. TUE She has had three acclaimed plays at Birmingham Rep: TUE Paradise (2003), Deadeye(2006) & Four Streets (2009). She TUE was a regular writer on Silver Street for BBC Asian network TUE Niraj Chag (composer) wrote outstanding original music for TUE the R4 dramatisation of The Mahabharata.
